A well preserved bivallate Cliff Castle, with a centrally
placed entrance and rock-cut ditches, across a narrow promontory.
There is a further rock-cut ditch centred at SW85517376, which
increases to a maximum depth of 0.8 metres at the NW end and
stops short of the cliff edge. It is partly infilled and placed
well to the NE of the main work. Although it gives the impression
of being associated with the Cliff Castle there is no
accompanying defensive bank, and local tradition maintains that
the ditch is a trackway formed here in c.1890 for a steam
engine which was raising marble from a wreck in the cove below.
